    Translated from SpanishWhen they announced Jennie, she hadn’t even debuted at that time, she debuted YEARS later, and during all that time she was going viral even though there was no content about her, she was already a famous trainee, and after debuting she became an it girl, something that makes her sell out, I know ball

    BLACKPINK’s Jennie set to headline various festivals

    After the ComplexCon in Hong Kong, BLACKPINK’s Jennie is set to headline several festivals ahead in 2026.

    Here’s the list:

    • Governors Ball Music Festival, New York – June 7
    • Roskilde Festival, Denmark – July 3
    • Open’er Festival, Poland – July 4
    • Mad Cool Festival, Madrid – July 9
    • Lollapalooza, Chicago – July 30 to August 2
    • Summer Sonic, Tokyo and Osaka – August 14 and 16

    These appearances form part of her 2026 festival schedule, which spans Asia, North America, and Europe. Organizers have confirmed her for headlining slots at each event.

    At Lollapalooza, she performs as the first female K-pop soloist to headline the main stage. At Mad Cool, she stands as the only K-pop artist on the lineup. The announcements came at different times throughout late 2025 and early 2026 as festivals released their lineups.

    In an interview with ELLE in May 2026, Jennie spoke about her upcoming festivals. She said:

    “We’re still working on the looks… But I think they’ll be fun and a little bold. Festivals are always different from regular shows, so we’re trying a few new things. I’m excited for this one.”

    Tickets for several of these events are already on sale through official festival websites.

    In April 2026, Jennie was named to TIME magazine’s 2026 list of the 100 most influential people (Artists category). She was the only K-pop solo artist on the list.
